Seems like the government owning private industry might stray into the socialism thing thy hate. Why not do this with something more important like healthcare? Republicans are hypocrites.

It’s only socialism when democrats do it.

We’ve always had communism for the rich and cutthroat capitalism for the working class

Our healthcare system in the US is Socialism, only the government funds the corporations with subsidies, not paying outright for the citizens. It's a man in the middle system where they stick a middle finger up your ass to get money from you three times. With taxes, with insurance, and with actual medical care.

Healthcare could help, that's good socialism. Intel is profits and power and control for the sake of it. That's bad socialism.

That way when things fuck up they can point and go SEE SEE IT DOESNT WORK! WE TRIED IT AND IT MADE THINGS WORSE!!

and if it somehow does manage to help or improve things they can now claim they did something smart and take all the credit.

Well, no. In this case it's probably Intel is collapsing I assume, and they're the only CPU producer native to the US. It'd be a really bad thing strategically to let them fail, so they should be nationalized.

Yeah, but then poor people would use it.

If you ask, they’ll tell you it’s different for ‘essential services’. It’s the same excuse they use for the farm handouts.

Or the rental market...

Because healthcare would help you
